Overview

Parry is a defense skill in Crimson Desert, available to all three playable characters (Kliff, Damiane, and Oongka). It belongs to the Spirit (Green) branch of the skill tree.

Skill Details

Effect

Guard right before being hit to block the enemy attack with a perfect Parry. A successful Parry negates all damage from the attack and can stagger the attacker, creating an opening for a counterattack.

Combat Tips

Parry is the highest-skill defensive option in the game. The timing window is tight, but a successful Parry is more rewarding than a standard block or dodge because it staggers the attacker. Practice against predictable enemies first before using it against bosses. Parry works on almost every physical attack in the game.
